2028 LA Olympics Venue Changes Could Shift Major Events, Report Finds
A report recommending venue changes for the 2028 Olympics and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles is moving to the City Council for review and approval on Thursday. Officials say the adjustments will boost revenue and reduce financial risk for the city.
On Wednesday, the Ad Hoc Committee on the 2028 Olympics and Paralympic Games, made up of seven members, approved amendments to the venue plan and requested an economic analysis of the proposed changes.
Council members also asked LA28, the private group overseeing the Games, to carry out an independent economic study. This report will evaluate the proposed changes, added sports, and lessons from the 2024 Paris Games. The study is due to the City Council no later than June 30.
The original venue plan was approved in 2017 when the City Council made its bid to host the 2024 Olympics. Any revisions to that plan must be approved by the city.
